Not all IQeyes are equal (IQD4x, IQ04x, IQ54x)

What it seemed like, was that I could get the form factor of the IQ03x but without the H.264 functionality. Imagine my surprise when I saw the following in the flash status screen:

It's Linux! For the first time in my tech life, I will say that I was disappointed that they ran Linux, mostly because the Linux firmware is lacking many of the features that make IQeyes so enjoyable to toy with.

• No motion event triggers
• Cannot send motion events to FTP/etc
• Looks like they depend on ONVIF to monitor the image stream for motion event (?snap=spushn&pragma=motion also works)
• No downsample
• I really like this feature, basically the camera will do an onboard downscale for low bandwidth viewing.
• No subframes
• the 5xx, 7xx and 8xx series let you specify a GET string that shows you a small portion of the frame, ie ?wl=100&wt=100&ww=500&wh=400 which will show a 500x400 pixel window with the origin at 100x100px.
• Syslog functionality...absent
• FTP server on camera...absent...cannot customize webpages

Unless you are looking for very basic view functionality, you should shy away from the IQ54x, IQ04x, and IQD4x series, and instead go with 5xx, 7xx, 8xx series cameras for everything else. Unfortunately for a compact dome with those advanced features there doesn't seem to be many options in the previous generations, and you'll have to go with the newer R-series.
